ESSENTIAL SUCCESS FACTORS

Back in 1947, TELEFUNKEN began distribution of the U47 – the world's first switchable pattern condenser microphone (cardioid and omnidirectional), and became extremely popular, especially in the United States, where ribbon microphones were the standard for recording studios. The fidelity and fine detail of the U47 pushed it to the forefront of recording studios everywhere. Replaced 1959 by the TELEFUNKEN ELA M 251 which is thought to be one of the best sounding microphones ever created while having been produced only from 1959 until 1962 it gained legendary status as one of the finest microphones ever over the four decades it was not in production.
